Story Highlights
  • Two dozen soldiers believed to have killed themselves in January, official says
  • The number of likely suicides more than those killed in combat last month
  • Army psychologist says long, cold months of winter might have contributed to spike
  • Army takes rare step of releasing figures for month rather than waiting till end of year

The Army said 24 soldiers are believed to have committed suicide in January alone -- six times as many as killed themselves in January 2008, according to statistics released Thursday.

^^ Agreed it's more like... how to put it a bully beating the shit out of a little kid that knocked over his tower, then beating the shit out of people that live around him cause they might have had something to do with it.

Any soldier showing signs of weakness mentally should be relieved of his duty. Its no worse than having a 1 legged soldier on the battlefield.

They shouldn't be pushed to the point where they want to commit suicide. Its inhuman.

just wait until the troops from Afghanistan and Iraq come home to a country in recession. When the troops come home and can't get jobs and realize their government no longer has use for them, the suicides & drug abuse will sky rocket.

It will be much worse than Vietnam.
